Shafer Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay
$63.00
2017, Carneros, CA
"The 2017 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch is a very beautiful wine. The warm vintage produced a Chardonnay that is a bit richer and more generous than has become the norm here in recent years, but the style of the wine is unchanged in its citrus and floral driven profile." (VM)
"A perennial powerhouse white, this delivers gorgeously constructed layers of rich pineapple, guava and mango, complemented by vanilla and baking spice from the oak. A steely midpalate shows bright acidity that lifts the concentration." (WE)
Winery Notes
Year after year the Chardonnay from our beautiful Carneros vineyard offers plush, exotic, zesty aromas and flavors.
“The 2017 offers lush, luxurious aromas and flavors of melon, honeysuckle, apricot, pineapple and flint all held together with effortless structure, elegant balance, and energy that comes from pure, Chablis-like acidity.”
